Review:  Apple A/V Cable

Bought A/V Cable at Apple Store tonight!
Comes with a USB A/C adapter (USB female connector, which I assume works with the standard USB cable as well as the A/V cable).
Connected via RGB to my TV:
. Movies worked fine
. Video podcasts worked fine
. Slideshow for pictures worked fine, including music playing in background
. YouTube (via the YouTube application) worked fine (BONUS! Wasn't counting on this!)
Another flawless Apple product, right out of the box!

Do you have any idea if this works with app store apps? I bought Cro-Mag Rally and I would love it if I could use the TV as the screen and the ipod as the steering wheel.
Thanks

  • Is the Apple iPod AV Cable really that good?

    My dad and mom are suppose to be bringing me home the Apple iPod AV Cable. I bought HS Musical from iTunes and they had never seen it, and want to, so I told them about the cable.... but anyways... I read the reviews for it, but I really want to know does it really have good video and sound quality?
    I mean I will be hooking it up to a 32" Sony Trinitron (Wega) tv and I want it to look good and sound good...

    Also, connecting to the cable to an Apple Universal Dock (with the iPod docked (instead of connecting it directly to the iPod)) will make the sound and video better.

  • Apple Coposit AV cable problem...

    I purchaased the Apple Coposit AV cable from Apple in hope of projecting the videos I have loaded in my iPhone and iPad. When attempted to play the video,  I hear the audio only but NO video. Is there something I missed to do?

    Hello Allecra,
    Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you are having trouble with a Digital AV Adapter. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.
    About Apple Digital AV Adapters for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
    Troubleshooting
    If you encounter an issue using the Apple Digital AV Adapter or VGA Adapter:
    Disconnect and reconnect the adapter from the iOS device and display.
    Connect directly to the TV, projector, or external display using a known-good VGA or HDMI cable.
    Remove any VGA or HDMI extension cables or converters.
    Note that accessories that convert a VGA or HDMI signal to other video formats (DVI, Composite, Component) are not supported.
    Ensure that you are using the latest version of iOS. Some Apple Digital AV Adapters require iOS 5.1 or later.
    When using an Apple Digital AV Adapter manufactured before early 2012 with iPad (3rd generation), you may see the "This accessory is not supported" alert. Dismissing the alert will allow you to use the adapter.
    For optimal performance, you may need to adjust the video resolution or settings for your display. If your display offers an "auto detect" or "factory default" setting, you may be able to use these options to optimize video resolution and display.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Have a nice day,

  • I am trying to connect my ipod classic to a tv and have tried many cables including the Apple composite AV cable.  No success.  Any thoughts?

    I am trying to connect my ipod classic to a tv (sony bravia 1080p) and have tried many cables including the Apple composite AV cable with the 30 pin connector on one end and three RCA connectors on the other.  Audio works but video does not.  The ipod classic screen says to connect to device when it is already connected. No success.  Any thoughts?

  • I purchased a Genuine Apple iPhone Lightening Cable from the Phone Shop I got my iPhone from, it has broke due to no fault of my own and it's the 4th one I have had, will Apple replace the cable?

    I purchased a Genuine Apple iPhone Lightening Cable from the Phone Shop I got my iPhone from after the one I got with my phone broke, it has broke due to no fault of my own and it's the 4th one I have had, will Apple replace the cable for free or not?

    The original cable has the iPhone's 12 month warranty and any items purchase as accessories also have a 12 month warranty
    Assuming there is no user damage or misuse

  • Apple Composite AV Cable no longer working on Ipad2 after ios8 update. Only getting sound, can you revert back to ios7 or buy a cable that will work any help would be appreciated

    Apple Composite AV Cable no longer working on Ipad2 after ios8 update. I'm only getting sound no video can you revert back to ios7 or buy a cable that will work any help would be appreciated
    Thanks

    The 30-pin connector on the iPhone 4 dock might not have all the connector pins to do video.
    I'm 99% sure the Universal Dock does have the pins (and therefor supports video out).

  • My Apple AV composite cable no longer works with my 3G iPhone. Anyone else?

    I purchased an Apple composite AV cable from my local Apple store shortly after I bought my 3G iPhone.
    It worked then.
    I haven't used it much, but this morning I tried it again.
    This time I got a message something like this:
    "This accessory was not made to work with the iPhone. Would you like to turn on Airplane mode to reduce interference?"
    It works with my older 3rd generation iPod.
    This isn't an after-market cable. I bought it (yes, $50) at an Apple store because I knew Apple had shut out non-Apple connectors with the new generation devices.
    I've seen various messages about failures of the AV cables after the 2.1 update. Most refer to aftermarket cables, or Apple cables purchased indirectly (may be counterfeit).
    Has anyone else run into this?
    I suppose I'll have to go back to the Apple Store with the cable and receipt and see what they can do about it.

    It was the cable connector seating.
    It looked fully attached, but on removal and FIRM attachment it worked.
    If the AV iPod connector is not fully seated you get this error. The old iPod connector used a locking connection with a positive click, the AV cable uses a lockless connector that differs from the newer lockless iPhone connector. I suspect the AV cable connector was a transitional design that may have more connectivity issues.

  • Apple Composite AV cable doesn't work with my iPhone 3G (3.1.3)

    Hello,
    Just purchased composite AV cable from apple store but it doesn't play videos on TV but audios only,
    Is it firmware or my cable prlbme?

    I used the original Apple composite AV cable with my iPhone 3G (OS 3.1.3) for a while and it worked fine for video playback in the iPod app. But after upgrading my iPhone 3G to iOS4 the cable stopped working. Video on my TV remains black and is shown on the iPhone's screen instead of the TV, and sometimes the iPhone tells me that this accessory is not designed to work with this iPhone. What did Apple do? Is there anyone who can confirm this change in behavior? Apple still recommends this cable in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1454?viewlocale=en_US

  • HT1454 Can't see ipod videos from 60GB ipod classic.  I have Apple USB/video cable running through Onkyo receiver into Samsung TV. Video & TV out settings seem correct-I can see album cover, but no video. Is it possible to get itunes music videos to play

    Can't see ipod videos from 60GB ipod classic.  I have Apple USB/video cable running through Onkyo receiver into Samsung TV. Video & TV out settings seem correct-I can see album cover, but no video. Is it possible to get itunes music videos to play or do I need to get new ipod.   It works on my iPad and iPhone, but not through iPod Classic.

    Are these music videos located under Videos on your iPod?  Do it play other regular movies (if you have any on the device)?

  • Apple Composite AV Cable: Full Screen from iPod to TV?

    I'm looking at buying the Apple Composite AV Cable for my iPod Classic 120. I didn't want to purchase it before I knew if it would do what I want it to do.
    Will it play TV shows, Videos, etc... full screen on my TV when plugged in?
    Also, if I were to plug it into a 3rd party (Dynex) iPod dock, and plug the Apple Composite AV Cable into the 30pin port in back of the dock, would it still play on my TV?
    And thirdly, with the above scenario in use, if I were to plug the USB end of the AV Cable into my computer, would it still play on my TV?
    Any and all help would be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks!

    Your first question is yes. If you set the ipod to "fit to screen" then it will, as long as when you convert the file, the aspect ratio is set to the ipod screen size(320×240 pixels). If the software has that option.
    I'm not sure about the connection for the dock you want to use, but with the 6th gen ipods a lot of 3rd party docks will not allow you to view video's through them because of something written into the ipod software. The one you want to use does not support the Classic. The only one I found was Apples own. But you can not use the menu button on the remote, so you can not change between films (unless in a play list) or change between films, music, photos or any other function of the ipod with out manually doing it yourself. The menu button is only to be used with Apple TV.
    No to your third question. Your ipod is connected to the computer and even if you play the file from the pod in itunes, it will only show up on your monitor

  • Video streamed from YouTube using the Apple Composite AV Cable

    I used to have video streamed from YouTube on my iPad to my TV using the Apple Composite AV Cable, this was in previous versions till the iOS 6 release, then YouTube no longer streams video through this cable :'(
    Very annoying really to miss a feature through a software upgrade!
    Please help me.

    Looks like the connector that goes into the iPad doesn't precisely connect all pins and lock the whole thing in place as well as we would think an Apple-branded product would. I discovered after four hours that if I pull my AV composite cable from the iPad without turning the iPad off (not the Apple recommended way - perhaps there's a better way, like replugging with it off?) and plugging it back in, *poof* I get video again. Now, Netflix still isn't working, but U-Tubes and photo slideshows are back with awesome-quality sound. I believe I'll get similar results when I try this on my iPhone 4.
    I guess Apple TV is really the only way to get the luxury back of being able to stay focused on your entertainment and not this equipment because this was spozed to be a movie nite for me four hous ago. I just wish Apple TV had as much content as the Roku.
    Anyway, just plug and re-plug, but don't be too hard on it. You might also have to turn widescreen off and back on again.

  • Video quality erratic using Apple A/V cable

    I just bought the Apple AV cable yesterday and tried connecting my 30 gig 5G to my tv. The audio was fine but the video was black and white, scrolling up and down the screen similar to having a VCR on channel 3 and the TV on channel 4. I then tried it again and it worked fine. Then tried again and back to the poor video signal. Has anyone else had this happen?

    I answered my own question (this is my post after finding the answer in another thread). Hope this helps someone.
    Woohoo! Thanks for the post- I have a 5G with the Apple A/V cable, but I couldn't get the video to work, just the audio on the tv. I didn't have "TV Output" selected "On." Now I don't have to return the product. Man, this 5G is amazing.

  • IDevices and Apple composite AV Cable - Not Working

    Hi...
    I've had problems connecting my iPods (iPod 30GB Video 5.5Gen, iPod Touch 1st and 2nd Gen, with latest capable software up to date) and my iPhone 4 (iOS 6 up to date) to my Samsung LED TV Series 5 using the original, Apple, composite AV cable. Everything is plug in, the way it should be, according to the manual. Devices charge and the Settings menu even displays the TV Settings... It shoud work right?
    No... No audio (tried to play some music), no photo, no video (no images, no audio), nothing...
    The composite AV cable is fine and works on a crappy 15 to 20 year old CRT TV (mp3, video and photo).
    I've adjusted every TV-Out setting there is, on both LED TV and iDevices with no result...
    Don´t know waht else to do... Need help, plz... Any suggestions????
    Thanks

    I'm confused. You mean that you're expecting to charge your iPhone by connecting it to the TV with a Composite AV cable? That's not going to work; a composite video cable doesn't supply power to the power input pins on your iPhone's dock connector.
    Plugging the iPhone to the USB wall socket directly using my regular cable gives the same error so I guess it is the voltage?
    Amperage, most likely. There quite likely is insufficient power from that USB port to charge the iPhone (something not infrequent with computer USB ports, and we know nothing about what that USB port is hooked up to.
    BTW, to me it would be very risk to plug an iPhone into some USB port about which you know little or nothing. I'd suggest you just use the charger included with the iPhone.
    Regards.

  • What apps will work with the Apple Component Video cables ?????

    I plan to order the Apple Component Video cables so I can watch the Netflix apps movies on my TV.
    I know this app works with the cables but what else does?
    The few apps I know of are:
    Netflix
    YouTube
    included video app
    but what else ?

    Thanks. I did order it and it arrived yesterday. I have not done a lot but watched a couple things
    with the Netflix app and I am very pleased.
    The cable is only about 6 feet so I had to extend it but other than that I am pleased. Luckily, I already
    had a 10' cable in the basement with connectors so now I can have my iPad where it usually is and
    control things more easily.
    A few more apps that work with it would be nice though. :>
